Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1.    Organization

Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally-managed and was organized to invest primarily in premium-branded upscale extended-stay and select-service hotels.

On January 14, 2013, the Company completed a follow-on common share offering generating gross proceeds of $51.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $48.4 million. On January 31, 2013, the Company issued an additional 92,677 common shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the offering that closed on January 14, 2013, generating gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. Proceeds from the January 2013 offerings were used to repay debt under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, including debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Hampton Inn Portland Downtown-Waterfront hotel in Portland, ME (the “Portland Hotel”) and the Courtyard by Marriott Houston Medical Center hotel in Houston, TX (the “Houston CY Hotel”).

On June 18, 2013, the Company completed a follow-on common share offering generating gross proceeds of $73.6 million and net proceeds of approximately $70.2 million. On June 28, 2013, the Company issued an additional 475,823 common shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the offering that closed on June 18, 2013, generating gross proceeds of approximately $7.8 million and net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million. Proceeds from the June 2013 offerings were used to repay debt under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, including debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore hotel in Pittsburgh, PA (the “Pittsburgh Hotel”).

The net proceeds from our offerings are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Chatham Lodging Trust is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Certain of the Company’s executive officers hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership, which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company owned 21 hotels with an aggregate of 2,911 rooms located in 11 states and the District of Columbia, held a 10.3% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the “Innkeepers JV”) with Cerberus Capital Management (“Cerberus”), which owns 52 hotels comprising an aggregate of 6,927 rooms, and held a 5.0% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the "Torrance JV") with Cerberus that owns the 248-room Residence Inn by Marriott in Torrance, CA.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate the hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease our wholly owned hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by one of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding companies. The Company indirectly owns its interest in 51 of the 52 Innkeepers JV hotels and its interest in the Torrance JV through the Operating Partnership, and owns its interest in the remaining 1 Innkeepers JV hotel through one of its TRS holding companies. All of the Innkeepers JV hotels and the Torrance JV hotel are leased to TRS Lessees, in which the Company indirectly owns noncontrolling interests through one of its TRS holding companies. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel room revenue. The initial term of each of the TRS leases is 5 years. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.

The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. Island Hospitality Management Inc. (“IHM”), which is 90% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, manages 19 of the Company’s wholly owned hotels and Concord Hospitality Enterprises Company manages two of the Company’s wholly owned hotels. As of June 30, 2013, all of the Innkeepers JV hotels were managed by IHM. The Torrance JV hotel is managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott").

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance due to seasonal and other factors including the timing of the acquisition of hotels.

The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto as of December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassification did not have any impact on the income (loss).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) clarified that when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of a default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance on sales of real estate. The provisions are effective for public companies for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2013 and the guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.    Acquisition of Hotel Properties

Acquisition of Hotel Properties

On February 5, 2013, the Company acquired the 197-room Houston CY Hotel for a purchase price of $34.8 million, plus customary pro-rated amounts and closing costs. The Company funded the acquisition with available cash and borrowings under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.

On June 17, 2013, the Company acquired the 178-room Pittsburgh Hotel for a purchase price of $40.0 million, plus customary pro-rated amounts and closing costs. The Company funded the acquisition with a $24.2 million mortgage loan and with borrowings under the Company's secured revolving credit facility.

The Company incurred acquisition costs of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $44 thousand and $83 thousand, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

     The amount of revenue and operating income of the Houston CY, TX acquisition included in the consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is $2.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively and $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The amount of revenue and operating income of the Pittsburgh acquisition included in the consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following condensed pro forma financial information presents the results of operations as if the hotels acquired in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 had taken place on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the acquisitions taken place on January 1, 2012, nor do they purport to represent the results of operations for future periods (in thousands, except share and per share data).

7.    Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

On April 17, 2013, the Company acquired a 5.0% interest in the Torrance JV with Cerberus. The Torrance JV acquired the 248-room Residence Inn by Marriott in Torrance, CA for $31.0 million. The Company's original investment of $1.7 million in the Torrance JV was funded through borrowings under the Company's secured revolving credit facility and with available cash. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company received cash distributions from the Torrance JV as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s ownership interests in the Innkeepers JV and the Torrance JV are subject to change in the event that either the Company or Cerberus calls for additional capital contributions to the respective JV necessary for the conduct of business, including contributions to fund costs and expenses related to capital expenditures. The Company manages each JV and will receive a promote interest in the applicable JV if it meets certain return thresholds. Cerberus may also approve certain actions by each JV without the Company’s consent, including certain property dispositions conducted at arm’s length, certain actions related to the restructuring of each JV and removal of the Company as managing member in the event the Company fails to fulfill its material obligations under the applicable joint venture agreement.

The Innkeepers JV incurred $12.4 million and $24.5 million in depreciation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $12.3 million and $24.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

(1) On January 18, 2013, the Company refinanced the mortgage loans for the Homewood Suites San Antonio hotel and the Residence Inn Tysons Corner hotel. Both new loans have a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization payment schedule.

(2) On January 31, 2013, the Company paid off the mortgage loan for the Washington Guest Suites hotel. This hotel is in the process of being rebranded as a Residence Inn by Marriott.

(3) On February 1, 2013, the Company refinanced the mortgage for the Residence Inn San Diego hotel. The new loan has a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization payment schedule.

(4) On April 25, 2013, the Company issued debt secured by a first mortgage for the Courtyard Houston hotel. The loan has a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization payment schedule.

(5) On June 17, 2013, the Company issued debt secured by a first mortgage for the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh hotel. The loan has a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization payment schedule.

(6) Eleven properties in the borrowing base serve as collateral for borrowings under the credit facility at June 30, 2013.

The senior secured credit facility key terms are as follows:

Facility amount	$115 million
LIBOR floor	None
Interest rate applicable margin	200-300 basis points, based on leverage ratio
Unused fee	25 basis points if less than 50% unused, 35 basis points if more than 50% unused
Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio	1.5x

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $30.5 million and $79.5 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility. 11 properties in the borrowing base serve as collateral for borrowings under the credit facility at June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, the maximum borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $115.0 million.

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. Rates take into consideration general market conditions, quality and estimated value of collateral and maturity of debt with similar credit terms and are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 typically consists of mortgages because of the significance of the collateral value to the value of the loan. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $177.9 million and $168.2 million, respectively.

13

The Company estimates the fair value of its variable rate debt by taking into account general market conditions and the estimated credit terms it could obtain for debt with similar maturity and is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s only variable rate debt is under its senior secured revolving credit facility. The estimated fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $30.5 million and $79.5 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants. At June 30, 2013, the Company’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.03. Future scheduled principal payments of debt obligations as of June 30, 2013, for each of the next five calendar years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

	Amount
2013 (remaining six months)	$	1,147
2014	2,547
2015	37,786
2016	40,731
2017	2,546
Thereafter	121,585
	$	206,342

9.    Income Taxes

The Company’s TRSs are subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company’s TRSs are structured under two TRS holding companies, which we refer to as TRS I and TRS 2, that are treated separately for income tax purposes.

The components of income tax expense for the following periods are as follows (in thousands):

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Federal	$	35	$	116	$	35	$	90
State	10		17		10		10
Tax expense	$	45	$	133	$	45	$	100

At June 30, 2013, TRS 1 had a gross deferred tax asset associated with future tax deductions of $0.5 million. TRS 1 has continued to record a full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the gross deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of its deferred assets due to the cumulative taxable losses incurred by TRS 1 since its inception. TRS 2 has a gross deferred tax asset of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2013 and no valuation allowance has been recorded in connection with the gross deferred tax assets of TRS 2 for June 30, 2013.

10.    Dividends Declared and Paid

The Company declared total common share dividends of $0.21 per share and distributions on long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units of $0.21 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $0.42 per share and distributions on LTIP units of $0.42 per unit for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The dividends and distributions were as follows:

14

	Record Date	Payment Date	Common share distribution amount		LTIP unit distribution amount
January	1/31/2013	2/22/2013	$	0.07	$	0.07

11.    Earnings Per Share

The two class method is used to determine earnings per share because unvested restricted shares and unvested long-term incentive plan units are considered to be participating shares. The following is a reconciliation of the amounts used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	For the three months ended						For the six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	2,176		$	1,157		$	557		$	(574	)
Dividends paid on unvested shares and units	(73		)	(70		)	(151		)	(134		)
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders	$	2,103		$	1,087		$	406		$	(708	)
Denominator:
Weighted average number of common shares - basic	18,147,108			13,810,190			17,682,199			13,802,588
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unvested shares (1)	236,518			105,123			215,056			—
Weighted average number of common shares - diluted	18,383,626			13,915,313			17,897,255			13,802,588
Basic income (loss) per Common Share:
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per weighted average common share	$	0.12		$	0.08		$	0.02		$	(0.05	)
Diluted income (loss) per Common Share:
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per weighted average common share	$	0.11		$	0.08		$	0.02		$	(0.05	)

(1) Unvested restricted shares and unvested long-term incentive plan units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, for the periods where a loss has been recorded, because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

12.    Equity Incentive Plan

The Company maintains its Equity Incentive Plan to attract and retain independent trustees, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. The plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares, share awards, share appreciation rights, performance units and other equity-based awards. The plan was amended and restated as of May 17, 2013 to increase the maximum number of shares available under the plan to 3,000,000 shares. Share awards under this plan generally vest over three to five years, though compensation for the Company’s independent trustees includes shares granted that vest immediately. The Company pays dividends on unvested shares and units, except for performance based shares, for which dividends on unvested performance based shares are not paid until those shares are vested. Certain awards may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. In January 2013 and 2012, the Company issued 22,536 and 27,592 common shares, respectively, to its independent trustees as compensation for services performed in 2012 and 2011. The quantity of shares was calculated based on the average of the closing prices for the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days preceding the reporting date. The Company would have distributed 10,172 common shares had this liability classified award been satisfied as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, there were 2,400,018 common shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Restricted Share Awards

On February 23, 2012, the Company granted 114,567 restricted common shares to the Company’s executive officers pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, consisting of time-based awards of 61,376 shares that will vest over a three-year period and 53,191 shares granted as performance-based equity awards. The performance-based shares will be issued and vest over a three-year period only if and to the extent that long-term performance criteria established by the Board of Trustees are met and the recipient remains employed by the Company on the vesting date. The Company met its criteria for 2012, therefore, on January 15, 2013 the Company issued an aggregate of 17,731 shares to its executive officers as performance based equity compensation under the 2012 awards. Included in the grant of 61,376 time-based shares in 2012 are 8,184 shares granted to

16

certain employees not subject to employment agreements. On January 29, 2013, the Company granted 40,829 shares as time-based awards and, effective as of May 17, 2013 upon shareholder approval of the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, 40,829 shares of performance-base equity awards. The 2013 time-based equity awards will vest over a three-year period. The 2013 awards of performance-based shares will be issued and vest over a three-year period only if and to the extent that long-term performance criteria established by the board of trustees are met and the recipient remains employed by the Company on the vesting date.

The Company measures compensation expense for time-based vesting restricted share awards based upon the fair market value of its common shares at the date of grant. For the performance-based shares granted in 2012, compensation expense is based on a valuation of $10.20 per performance share granted, which takes into account that some or all of the awards may not vest if long-term performance criteria are not met during the vesting period. For the performance-based shares granted in 2013, compensation expense is based on a valuation of $10.93 per performance share granted. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company pays dividends on non-vested time-based restricted shares. Dividends for performance-based shares are accrued and paid annually only if and to the extent that long-term performance criteria established by the Board are met and the recipient remains employed by the Company.

A summary of the Company’s restricted share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:

	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Number of Shares		Weighted - Average  Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Shares		Weighted - Average  Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at beginning of the period	140,077		$	12.70	51,029		$	19.04
Granted	81,658		13.43		114,567		11.28
Vested	(60,217	)	15.26		(25,519	)	19.04
Non-vested at end of the period	161,518		$	12.49	140,077		$	12.70

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted share awards. As of June 30, 2013, these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of approximately 1.7 years. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively of expense related to the restricted share awards. This expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Units

The Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.2 million in compensation expense related to the LTIP Units for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $0.4 million and $0.4 million in compensation expense related to the LTIP units for six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was $1.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to LTIP Units. This cost is expected to be recognized over approximately 1.8 years, which represents the weighted average remaining vesting period of the LTIP Units. As of June 30, 2013, none of the LTIP Units had reached parity.

13.    Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The nature of the operations of the hotels exposes the hotels, the Company and the Operating Partnership to the risk of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business. The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company or its properties.

Hotel Ground Rent

The Altoona hotel is subject to a ground lease with an expiration date of April 30, 2029 with an extension option of up to 12 additional terms of five years each. Monthly payments are determined by the quarterly average room occupancy of the hotel. Rent is equal to approximately $7,000 per month when monthly occupancy is less than 85% and can increase up to

17

approximately $20,000 per month if occupancy is 100%, with minimum rent increased on an annual basis by two and one-half percent (2.5%).

At the New Rochelle Residence Inn, there is an air rights lease and garage lease that each expire on December 1, 2104. The lease agreements with the City of New Rochelle cover the space above the parking garage that is occupied by the hotel as well as 128 parking spaces in a parking garage that is attached to the hotel. The annual base rent for the garage lease is the hotel’s proportionate share of the city’s adopted budget for the operations, management and maintenance of the garage and established reserves to fund for the cost of capital repairs.

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancellable operating ground leases under which the Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due. The following is a schedule of the minimum future obligation payments required under the ground, air rights and garages leases as of June 30, 2013, for the remainder of 2013 and for each of the next four calendar years and thereafter (in thousands):

	Amount
2013 (remaining six months)	$	103
2014	207
2015	210
2016	212
2017	214
Thereafter	11,445
Total	$	12,391

Management Agreements

The management agreements with Concord, the manager of the Altoona, Pennsylvania Courtyard by Marriott and the Washington, Pennsylvania SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotels, provide for base management fees equal to 4% of the managed hotel’s gross room revenue. The initial ten-year term of each management agreement expires on February 28, 2017 and will renew automatically for successive one-year terms unless terminated by the TRS lessee or the manager by written notice to the other party no later than 90 days prior to the then current term’s expiration date. The management agreements may be terminated for cause, including the failure of the managed hotel operating performance to meet specified levels. If the Company were to terminate the management agreements during the first nine years of the term other than for breach or default by the manager, the Company would be responsible for paying termination fees to the manager.

In 2012, the Company assumed hotel management agreements in place at six hotels the Company acquired in 2010 — the Boston-Billerica Homewood Suites, Minneapolis-Bloomington Homewood Suites, Nashville-Brentwood Homewood Suites, Dallas Homewood Suites, Hartford-Farmington Homewood Suites and Orlando-Maitland Homewood Suites — all of which were managed by Promus Hotels, Inc., a subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Worldwide (“Hilton”). During 2012, each of these management agreements was terminated and new management agreements were entered into with IHM.

All of the remaining hotels are managed by IHM. The management agreements with IHM have an initial term of five years and may be renewed for twofive-year periods at IHM’s option by written notice to us no later than 90 days prior to the then current term’s expiration date. The IHM management agreements provide for early termination at the Company’s option upon sale of any IHM-managed hotel for no termination fee, with six months advance notice. The IHM management agreements may be terminated for cause, including the failure of the managed hotel to meet specified performance levels. Management agreements with IHM provide for a base management fee of 3% of the managed hotel’s gross revenues for the Hampton Inn Houston, TX, Residence Inn Holtsville, NY, Residence Inn White Plains, NY, Residence Inn New Rochelle, NY, Homewood Suites Carlsbad, CA, Portland Hotel, Houston CY Hotel and Pittsburgh Hotel and 2.5% of the managed hotel’s gross revenues for the Residence Inn Garden Grove, CA, Residence Inn San Diego, CA, Homewood Suites San Antonio, TX, Washington Guest Suites, Washington, DC and Residence Inn Tysons Corner, VA and 2% for the six hotels transitioned to IHM from Hilton. Management agreements with IHM also provide for accounting fees up to $1,500 per month per hotel, revenue management fees up to $1,000 per month per hotel and, if certain financial thresholds are met or exceeded, an incentive management fee equal to 10% of the hotel’s net operating income less fixed costs, base management fees and a specified return threshold. The incentive management fee is capped at 1% of gross hotel revenues for the applicable calculation.

Management fees totaled approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012.

14.    Related Party Transactions

Mr. Fisher owns 90% of IHM. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had hotel management agreements with IHM to manage 19 of its hotels. As of June 30, 2013 all 52 hotels owned by the Innkeepers JV, are managed by IHM. Hotel and revenue management and accounting fees paid to IHM for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts due to IHM were $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities revenue represents reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of the Innkeepers JV. These costs relate primarily to payroll costs at the Innkeepers JV where the Company is the employer. As the Company records cost reimbursements based upon costs incurred with no added markup, the revenue and related expense has no impact on the Company’s operating income or net income. Cost reimbursements from our joint venture are recorded based upon the occurrence of a reimbursed activity.

During 2012, Mr. Fisher entered into a participation agreement with Cerberus by which Mr. Fisher acquired a less than 1% non-voting interest in the Cerberus percentage ownership of the Innkeepers JV.

15.    Subsequent Events

On July 12, 2013, Chatham Lodging Trust entered into an agreement to acquire a Hampton Inn and Suites in the northeastern United States for $15.2 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013, subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and customary closing conditions. The Company intends to fund the purchase price with available cash and borrowings under the Company's secured revolving credit facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In this report, we used the terms “the Company, “we” or “our” to refer to Chatham Lodging Trust and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The following information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of the lodging industry, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, cash flow and plans and objectives. These statements generally are characterized by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the local, national and global economic conditions, increased direct competition, changes in government regulations or accounting rules, changes in local, national and global real estate conditions, declines in lodging industry fundamentals, increased operating costs, seasonality of the lodging industry, our ability to obtain debt and equity financing on satisfactory terms, changes in interest rates, our ability to identify suitable investments, our ability to close on identified investments and inaccuracies of our accounting estimates. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a self-advised hotel investment company organized in October 2009 that commenced operations in April 2010. Our investment strategy is to invest in premium-branded upscale extended-stay and select-service hotels in geographically diverse markets with high barriers to entry near strong demand generators. We may acquire portfolios of hotels or single hotels. We expect that a significant portion of our portfolio will consist of hotels in the upscale extended-stay or select-service categories, including brands such as Homewood Suites by Hilton^®, Residence Inn by Marriott^®, Hyatt Place^®, Courtyard by Marriott^®, Hampton Inn^® and Hampton Inn and Suites^®.

We focus on premium-branded, select-service hotels in high growth markets with high barriers to entry concentrated primarily in the 25 largest metropolitan markets in the United States.

Our long-term goal is to maintain our leverage at a ratio of net debt to investment in hotels (at cost) at less than 35 percent. However, during what we believe are the early stages of the lodging cycle recovery, we and our Board of Trustees are comfortable at levels in excess of that amount. We intend to de-lever over time from our current level of approximately 45%, which is down from 51% at December 31, 2012, as we increase our investment portfolio.

Future growth through acquisitions will be funded by issuances of both common and preferred shares, draw-downs under our credit facility, the incurrence or assumption of debt or, potentially, proceeds from dispositions of assets or distributions from our 10.3% investment in INK Acquisition, LLC and affiliates, a joint venture with Cerberus Capital Management (“Cerberus”), that owns 52 hotels (the “Innkeepers JV”) or distributions from our 5.0% investment in a joint venture with Cerberus that owns the Residence Inn by Marriott in Torrance, CA (the "Torrance JV") as of June 30, 2013.

We believe 2013 and beyond will offer attractive growth for the lodging industry and for us because lodging demand is projected to surpass supply growth for the next few years. Increased demand is correlative to economic growth in the U.S. and with Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) expected to grow, demand should increase. We intend to acquire quality assets at attractive prices, improve their returns through knowledgeable asset management and seasoned, proven hotel management while remaining prudently leveraged.

We elected to qualify for treatment as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), we cannot operate our hotels. Therefore, our operating partnership, Chatham Lodging, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and its subsidiaries lease our hotel properties to taxable REIT lessee subsidiaries (“TRS Lessees”), who will in turn engage eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels. Each of these lessees is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes and is

21

consolidated within our financial statements for accounting purposes. However, since we control both the Operating Partnership and the TRS Lessees, our principal source of funds on a consolidated basis is from the operations of our hotels. The earnings of the TRS Lessees are subject to taxation as regular C corporations, as defined in the Code, potentially reducing the TRS Lessees’ cash available to pay dividends to us, and therefore our funds from operations and the cash available for distribution to our shareholders.

Financial Condition and Operating Performance Metrics

We measure financial condition and hotel operating performance by evaluating financial metrics and measures such as:

• Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”),

• Average Daily Rate (“ADR”),

• Occupancy percentage,

• Funds From Operations (“FFO”),

• Adjusted FFO,

• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and

• Adjusted EBITDA.

We evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions using these metrics to determine each hotel’s contribution toward providing income to our shareholders through increases in distributable cash flow and increasing long-term total returns through appreciation in the value of our common shares. RevPAR, ADR and Occupancy are hotel industry measures commonly used to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR, which is calculated as total room revenue divided by total number of available rooms, is an important metric for monitoring hotel operating performance, and more specifically hotel revenue.

“Non-GAAP Financial Measures” provides a detailed discussion of our use of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income or loss, measurements recognized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

Results of Operations

Industry outlook

We believe that the hotel industry’s performance is correlated to the performance of the economy overall, and with key economic indicators such as GDP growth, employment trends and corporate profits. We expect a continuing improvement in the performance of the hotel industry as GDP is forecast to grow in 2013 and unemployment is forecast to continue to decline. As reported by Smith Travel Research, monthly industry RevPAR has been higher year over year since March 2010. As reported by Smith Travel Research, industry RevPAR in 2012 was up 8.0% and was up 5.6% year to date through June 30, 2013. Industry analysts such as Smith Travel Research and PKF Hospitality are projecting industry RevPAR to grow 5-6% in 2013 based on sustained economic growth, lack of new supply and increased business travel spending. Of the projected growth, most expect ADR growth to comprise most of the expected RevPAR growth. We are currently projecting RevPAR at our hotels to grow 4.5% in 2013 with ADR comprising most of our RevPAR growth. Most expect RevPar to continue to grow in 2013, albeit at levels less than what the industry experienced in 2011 and 2012.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2013 (“2013”) to the three months ended June 30, 2012 (“2012”)

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 include the operating activities of our 21 wholly-owned hotels and our investments in the Innkeepers JV and the Torrance JV. We owned 18 hotels at June 30, 2012. Accordingly, the comparisons below are influenced by the fact that three hotels and the Torrance JV were not owned by us for the second quarter of 2012 whereas they were owned by us for all or part of the second quarter of 2013.

As reported by Smith Travel Research, industry RevPAR for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was up 5.0% and up 7.9%, respectively. RevPAR at our hotels was up 3.5% and 6.9%, respectively, in the 2013 and 2012 periods. Our RevPAR performance in the second quarter of 2013 was adversely impacted by renovations that occurred at two of our hotels, especially our Washington, D.C. hotel, which operated without a brand during the three months ended June 30, 2013, while we rebrand the hotel to a Residence Inn by Marriott. RevPar was up 6.1% excluding the Washington D.C. hotel for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues

Total revenue was $30.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to total revenue of $26.4 million for the 2012 period. Total revenue related to three hotels not owned in the 2012 second quarter contributed $4.1 million of the

22

increase. Since all of our hotels are select service or limited service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue was $29.0 and $24.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. ADR at our hotels was up 4.1%.

Since room revenue is the primary component of total revenue, our revenue results are dependent on maintaining and improving hotel occupancy, ADR and RevPAR at our hotels. Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR results are presented in the following table in each period to reflect operation of the hotels regardless of ownership:

	For the three months ended			For the three months ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012
Occupancy	82.9		%	83.5		%
ADR	$	139.27		$	133.56
RevPar	$	115.46		$	111.51

Food and beverage revenue was $199 thousand and $72 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase relates to the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh and the Houston Courtyard hotels, which were acquired in 2013 and have food and beverage facilities.

Other operating revenue, comprised of meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, was $1.2 and $1.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As a percentage of total revenue, other operating revenue was 3.9% and 4.1%, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of payroll costs at the Innkeepers JV where the Company is the employer, were $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Hotel Operating Expenses

Hotel operating expenses increased $2.3 million to $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel operating expenses were 53% for 2013 and 52% for 2012.

Room expenses, which are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, increased $0.8 million from $5.3 million in 2012 to $6.1 million in 2013, or 20.1% and 19.7% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Food and beverage expense increased $0.1 million, or 109.2%, from $0.1 million in 2012 to $0.2 million in 2013 due to the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh and Houston Courtyard hotels that were acquired in 2013 and have food and beverage facilities.

Telephone expense increased $0.05 million, or 24.9%, from $0.17 million in 2012 to $0.22 million in 2013 primarily due to the increased number of hotels owned in 2013.

Other operating expenses, which include meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities remained the same with $0.4 million in expense in 2012 and 2013.

General and administrative expenses of the hotels increased $0.4 million, or 16.8%, from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $0.3 million is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Franchise and marketing fees increased $0.2 million, or 13.2%, from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $0.3 million is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Advertising and promotions increased $0.1 million, or 16.3%, from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $0.9 million is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Utilities expense increased $0.2 million, or 19.3%, from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Utilities at the three new hotels owned in 2013 were $0.1 million of this increase.

23

Repairs and maintenance increased $0.3 million, or 22.9%, from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The three new hotels owned in 2013 were $$0.2 million of the increase.

Management fees increased $0.1 million, or 19.2%, from $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $0.1 million is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Insurance expense increased $28 thousand from $148 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $176 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $17 thousand is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is due to the disposition and replacement of furniture and fixtures at four hotels where major renovations were completed in 2012. Depreciation is recorded on our hotel buildings over 40 years from the date of acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally three to ten years between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

Property Taxes and Insurance

Total property tax and insurance expenses increased $0.4 million from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due primarily to the increased number of hotels owned during the 2013 period, which accounts for $0.2 million of the year over year increase and the remaining increase due to higher property taxes.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonuses and amortization of restricted stock and awards of long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and trustees’ fees. Total general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of stock based compensation of $0.5 and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively) increased $0.1 million, or 6.0% to $1.5 million in 2013 from $1.4 million in 2012 with the increase due to salaries and technology costs.

Hotel Property Acquisition Costs and Other Charges

Hotel property acquisition costs increased $1.1 million from $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Expenses during the 2013 period related to our acquisition of the Houston CY and Pittsburgh HP Hotels. Acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred.

Reimbursed Costs from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Reimbursed costs from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of payroll costs at the Innkeepers JV where the Company is the employer, were $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest and Other Income

Interest on cash and cash equivalents and other income increased $0.1 million from $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is attributable to miscellaneous corporate refunds and asset management fees related to the Torrance JV.

Interest Expense, including amortization of deferred fees

Interest expense decreased $1.0 million from $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to reduced interest cost of $0.4 million on the three loans refinanced in the first quarter of 2013, $0.3 million saved due to our paying off the Washington, D.C. hotel loan on January 31, 2013, $0.2 million attributable to a lower interest rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility borrowings as a result of our amendment to the credit agreement in the fourth quarter of 2012 (which had weighted average borrowings of $80.2 million at 2.7% in 2013 compared to weighted average borrowings of $58.2 million at 5.5% in 2012), and $0.1 million less of loan amortization costs attributable to deferred expenses written off on the paid-off loans.

24

Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate entities decreased from income of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is due to a decrease in gains on asset sales for four hotels of $0.7 million from 2012 to 2013.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased $88 thousand from a $133 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $45 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. We are subject to income taxes based on the taxable income of our taxable REIT subsidiary holding companies at a combined federal and state tax rate of approximately 40%. In 2012, the gains on asset sales within the Innkeepers JV were taxable to us.

Net income

Net income was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in our net income was due to the factors discussed above.

Material Trends or Uncertainties

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either the capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those referred to in the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2013 (“2013”) to the six months ended June 30, 2012 (“2012”)

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 include the operating activities of our 21 wholly-owned hotels and our investment in the Innkeepers JV and Torrance JV. We owned 18 hotels at June 30, 2012. Accordingly, the comparisons below are influenced by the fact that three hotels and the Torrance JV were not owned by us for the first six months of 2012 whereas they were owned by us for all or part of the first six months of 2013.

As reported by Smith Travel Research, industry RevPAR for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was up 5.6% and up 7.9%, respectively. RevPAR at our hotels was up 4.0% and 9.4%, respectively, in the 2013 and 2012 periods. Our RevPAR performance in 2013 was adversely impacted by renovations that occurred at three of our hotels, especially our Washington, D.C. hotel, which has operated without a brand for five months in 2013 while we rebrand the hotel to a Residence Inn by Marriott. RevPar was up 6.3% excluding the Washington D.C. hotel for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues

Total revenue was $56.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to total revenue of $49.2 million for the 2012 period. $6.5 million of the $7.3 million increase was attributable to the three hotels acquired in late 2012 or 2013. Since all of our hotels are select service or limited service hotels, room revenue is the primary revenue source as these hotels do not have significant food and beverage revenue or large group conference facilities. Room revenue was $53.2 and $46.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Recently acquired hotels accounted for $6.0 million of the increase. ADR at our hotels was up 3.9%.

Since room revenue is the primary component of total revenue, our revenue results are dependent on maintaining and improving hotel occupancy, ADR and RevPAR at our hotels. Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR results are presented in the following table in each period to reflect operation of the hotels regardless of ownership:

	For the six months ended			For the six months ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012
Occupancy	79.0		%	78.9		%
ADR	$	135.86		$	130.77
RevPar	$	107.39		$	103.24

25

Food and beverage revenue was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. $0.2 million of the increase relates to the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh and the Houston Courtyard hotels, which were acquired in 2013 and have food and beverage facilities.

Other operating revenue, comprised of meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities revenue, was $2.2 and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As a percentage of total revenue, other operating revenue was 3.8% and 4.1%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Cost reimbursements from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of payroll costs at the Innkeepers JV where the Company is the employer, were $0.8 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Hotel Operating Expenses

Hotel operating expenses increased $4.1 million to $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of total revenue, hotel operating expenses were 55% for 2013 and 55% for 2012.

Room expenses, which are the most significant component of hotel operating expenses, increased $1.3 million from $10.3 million in 2012 to $11.6 million in 2013, or 20.9% and 20.5% of total revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Food and beverage expense increased $0.1 million, or 105.8%, from $0.2 million in 2012 to $0.3 million in 2013 due to the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh and Houston Courtyard hotels that were acquired in 2013 and have food and beverage facilities.

Telephone expense increased $0.05 million, or 17.9%, from $0.35 million in 2012 to $0.4 million in 2013 primarily due to the increase number of hotels owned in 2013.

Other operating expenses, which include meeting room, gift shop, in-room movie and other ancillary amenities increased $0.5 million from $676 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $727 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

General and administrative expenses of the hotels increased $0.7 million, or 16.2%, from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $0.5 million is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Franchise and marketing fees increased $0.4 million, or 11.9%, from $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Franchise fees at the three new hotels owned in 2013 were $0.5 million of this increase.

Advertising and promotions increased $0.1 million, 11.7%, from $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $0.2 million is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Utilities expense increased $0.3 million, or 14.5%, from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Utilities at the three new hotels owned in 2013 were $0.2 million of this increase.

Repairs and maintenance increased $0.5 million, or 21.9%, from $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The three new hotels owned in 2013 were $0.2 million of the increase.

Management fees increased $0.2 million, or 17.2%, from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $0.2 million is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Insurance expense increased $36 thousand from $312 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $348 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2013. An increase of $30 thousand is attributable to the three new hotels owned in 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million from $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to the increased number of hotels owned during the 2013 period, partially offset by disposition and replacement of furniture and fixtures at four hotels where major

26

renovations were completed in 2012. Depreciation is recorded on our hotel buildings over 40 years from the date of acquisition. Depreciable lives of hotel furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally three to ten years between the date of acquisition and the date that the furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced. Amortization of franchise fees is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement.

Property Taxes and Insurance

Total property tax and insurance expenses increased $0.7 million from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due primarily to the increased number of hotels owned during the 2013 period, which accounts for $0.3 million of the year over year increase and the remainder attributable to higher property taxes.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses principally consist of employee-related costs, including base payroll, bonuses and amortization of restricted stock and awards of long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units. These expenses also include corporate operating costs, professional fees and trustees’ fees. Total general and administrative expenses (excluding amortization of stock based compensation of $1.0 and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively) increased $0.3 million to $3.0 million in 2013 from $2.7 million in 2012 with the increases related to salaries and professional fees.

Hotel Property Acquisition Costs and Other Charges

Hotel property acquisition costs increased $1.1 million from $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Expenses during the 2013 period related to our acquisition of the Houston CY and Pittsburgh HP Hotels. Acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred.

Reimbursed Costs from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Reimbursed costs from unconsolidated real estate entities, comprised of payroll costs at the Innkeepers JV where the Company is the employer, were $0.8 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest and Other Income

Interest on cash and cash equivalents and other income increased $0.1 million from $1 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is attributable to miscellaneous corporate refunds and asset management fees related to the Torrance JV.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $2.1 million from $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to reduced interest cost of $0.7 million on the three loans refinanced in the first quarter of 2013, $0.5 million saved due to our paying off the Washington, D.C. hotel loan on January 31, 2013, $0.5 million attributable to a lower interest rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility borrowings as a result of our amendment to the credit agreement in the fourth quarter of 2012 (which had weighted average borrowings of $80.8 million at 2.70% in 2013 compared to weighted average borrowings of $62.9 million at 5.38% in 2012), and $0.4 million less of loan amortization costs attributable to deferred expenses written off on the paid-off loans.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt increased $0.9 million from income of $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to the write-off of the deferred issuance costs related to the debt that was refinanced or paid off.

Income (loss) from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate entities decreased $0.8 million from income of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to a loss of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is due to a decrease in gains on asset sales for four hotels of $0.7 million from 2012 to 2013.

Income Tax Expense

27

Income tax benefit decreased $55 thousand from $100 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $45 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We are subject to income taxes based on the taxable income of our taxable REIT subsidiary holding companies at a combined federal and state tax rate of approximately 40%.

Net income (loss)

Net income was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in our net loss was due to the factors discussed above.

Material Trends or Uncertainties

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either the capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of properties, loans and other permitted investments, other than those referred to in the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, and (4) Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures could be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of our operating performance prescribed by GAAP.

FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity, nor are FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties.

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment

Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. We believe that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it measures our performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties. We believe that these items are more representative of our asset base and our acquisition and disposition activities than our ongoing operations, and that by excluding the effects of the items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report FFO using the NAREIT definition.

We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to our unconsolidated real estate entities that we believe do not represent recurring operations. We believe that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except share data):

We calculate EBITDA for purposes of the credit facility debt covenants as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it helps investors compare our operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. In addition, we use EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

We further adjust EBITDA for certain additional items, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, amortization of non-cash share-based compensation and similar items related to our unconsolidated real estate entities which we believe are not indicative of the performance of our underlying hotel properties entities. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

Although we present FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they are useful to investors in comparing our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period using Adjusted EBITDA;

• Adjusted FFO and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters we consider not to be indicative of the underlying performance of our hotel properties; and

• Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our liquidity. Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. Our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash include net cash from operations and proceeds from debt and equity issuances. Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenditures, interest costs and debt repayments and distributions to equity holders.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Additionally, we had $84.5 million available under our $115.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash flows provided by operations were $12.1 million, as our net income of $0.6 million was due in significant part to non-cash expenses, including $8.4 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.9 million from the extinguishment of debt, $1.1 million of share-based compensation expense and $0.7 million from loss from unconsolidated entities. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities due to the timing of cash receipts, payments for real estate taxes, payments of corporate compensation and payments from our hotels resulted in net cash inflow of $0.4 million. Net cash flows used in investing activities were $82.4 million, primarily related to the purchase of the Houston CY Hotel and Pittsburgh Hotel of $74.8 million, capital improvements on our 21 wholly owned hotels of $7.1 million, investment in the Torrance JV of $1.7 million, offset by $0.3 million related to the receipt of restricted cash and $0.9 million net proceeds from mortgage financing. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $84.5 million, comprised primarily of $134.2 million raised from our January and June 2013 follow-on common share offerings, and proceeds from the issuance of refinanced and new mortgage loans of $117.0 million, offset by net repayments on our secured credit facility of $49 million, principal payments on mortgage debt of $100.9 million, payments of deferred financing and offering costs of $7.7 million and distributions to shareholders of $9.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash flows provided by operations were $6.3 million, as our net loss of $0.6 million was due in significant part to non-cash expenses, including $8.4 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.0 million of share-based compensation expense and a $0.1 million impact from loss from unconsolidated entities. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities due to the timing of cash receipts, payments for real estate taxes, payments of corporate compensation and payments from our hotels resulted in net cash outflow of $2.4 million. Net cash flows provided by investing activities were $17.7 million, primarily related to the receipt of distributions from unconsolidated real estate entities of $19.2 million (including $3.1 million attributable to cash from other activities and excess cash, $4.4 million from the sale of assets and $11.8 million from financing activities) and reimbursements from required escrows of $2.4 million, offset by additional capital improvements to the eighteen hotels of $3.9 million. Future distributions from unconsolidated real estate entities are contingent upon projected hotel operations and the possible sale of assets. Net cash flows used in financing activities were $20.2 million, comprised primarily of net repayments on our secured credit facility of $14.0 million, principal payment on mortgage debt of $0.9 million, payment of deferred financing and offering costs of $0.4 million and distributions to shareholders of $4.9 million.

We paid regular quarterly dividends and distributions on common shares and LTIP units since the third quarter of 2010 through 2012. Dividends for 2013 changed from a quarterly dividend to a monthly dividend in January 2013. Dividends and distributions for the first quarter of 2012 were $0.175 per common share and LTIP unit. Dividends and distributions for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2012 increased to $0.20 per common share and LTIP unit. We declared total dividends of $0.21 per common share and LTIP unit for each of the first and second quarters of 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We intend to maintain our leverage over the long term at a ratio of net debt to investment in hotels (at cost) (defined as our initial acquisition price plus the gross amount of any subsequent capital investment and excluding any impairment charges) to less than 35 percent measured at the time we incur debt, and a subsequent decrease in hotel property values will not necessarily cause us to repay debt to comply with this limitation. However, our Board of Trustees believes that temporarily increasing our leverage limit at this stage of the lodging recovery cycle is appropriate. We will continue to pay down borrowings on our secured revolving credit facility with excess cash flow until we find other uses of cash such as investments in our existing hotels, hotel acquisitions or further joint venture investments. We intend to de-lever from our current level of 45%, which is down from 51% at December 31, 2012 as we increase our investment portfolio.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $30.5 million and $79.5 million, respectively, in borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2013, there were 11 properties in the borrowing base under the credit agreement and the maximum borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was approximately $115.0 million. We also had mortgage debt on individual hotels aggregating $175.8 million and $159.7 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

31

We amended the credit facility in November 2012. The amendment extends the maturity date to November 5, 2015 and includes an option to extend the maturity date by an additional year. Other key features of the credit facility are as follows:

Facility amount	$115 million
LIBOR floor	None
Interest rate applicable margin	200-300 basis points, based on leverage ratio
Unused fee	25 basis points if less than 50% unused, 35 basis points if more than 50% unused
Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio	1.5x

The credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for transactions of this type, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth financial covenants, limitations on (i) liens, (ii) incurrence of debt, (iii) investments, (iv) distributions, and (v) mergers and asset dispositions, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws, covenants on the use of proceeds of the credit facility and default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults and guarantor defaults. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at June 30, 2013. We expect to meet all financial covenants in 2013 based upon our current projections.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under our credit facility or through the encumbrance of any unencumbered hotels. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund operating obligations, pay interest on any borrowings and fund dividends in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as hotel property acquisitions and debt maturities or repayments through additional long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the possible sale of existing assets.

During January 2013, we issued 3,592,677 common shares, raising net proceeds of approximately $49.7 million. The proceeds of this offering were used to repay debt borrowed under our secured credit facility, including debt incurred to acquire the Portland Hotel and the Houston CY Hotel.

During June 2013, we issued 4,975,823 common shares, raising net proceeds of approximately $77.6 million. The proceeds of this offering were used to repay debt borrowed under our secured credit facility, including debt incurred to acquire the Pittsburgh Hotel.

In the first quarter of 2013, we refinanced $100.1 million of debt through the issuance of $72.9 million of debt on three hotels. We also repaid the $19.8 million mortgage on our Washington, D.C. hotel. During the 2013 second quarter we issued $44.2 million of debt secured by two hotels. Each of the new loans are 10-year fixed rate loans.

We intend to continue to invest in hotel properties only as suitable opportunities arise. We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of common and preferred shares, issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership or other securities or borrowings. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital through issuances of equity securities and borrowings. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels that do not meet our long-term investment objectives as a means to provide liquidity.

Dividend Policy

Our current common dividend policy is generally to distribute, annually, at least 100% of our annual taxable income. The amount of any dividends is determined by our Board of Trustees. Our Board of Trustees approved a change in the frequency of our dividend payments to monthly in January, with a targeted monthly dividend of $0.07 per common share and LTIP unit for 2013. The aggregate amount of dividends declared for the first and second quarters were $0.42 per common share and LTIP unit.

Capital Expenditures

We intend to maintain each hotel property in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the franchisor’s standards and any agreed-upon requirements in our management and loan agreements. After we acquire a hotel property, we may be required to complete a property improvement plan (“PIP”) in order to be granted a new franchise license for that particular hotel property. PIPs are intended to bring the hotel property up to the

32

franchisor’s standards. Certain of our loans require that we escrow for property improvement purposes, at the hotels collateralizing these loans, amounts up to 5% of gross revenue from such hotels. We intend to spend amounts necessary to

comply with any reasonable loan or franchisor requirements and otherwise to the extent that such expenditures are in the best interest of the hotel. To the extent that we spend more on capital expenditures than is available from our operations, we intend to fund those capital expenditures with available cash and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we invested approximately $4.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we invested approximately $8.7 million and $4.9, respectively, on capital investments in our hotels. We expect to invest an additional $2.5 million on capital improvements on our existing hotels for the remainder of 2013 and approximately $2.5 million on the rebranding of our Washington, D.C hotel to a Residence Inn by Marriott.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2013, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands). We had no other material off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2013 other than non-recourse debt associated with the Innkeepers JV and the Torrance JV as discussed below.

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less Than One Year		One to Three Years		Three to Five Years		More Than Five Years
Corporate office lease	$	84	$	20	$	64	$	—	$	—
Revolving credit facility, including interest (1)	33,764		1,119		32,645		—		—
Ground leases	12,391		103		417		426		11,445
Property loans, including interest (1)	220,824		5,694		27,204		56,846		131,080
	$	267,063	$	6,936	$	60,330	$	57,272	$	142,525

(1) Does not reflect additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility after June 30, 2013 and interest payments are based on the interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2013. See Note 8, “Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our property loans.

In addition, we pay management fees to our hotel management companies based on the revenues of our hotels.

The Company’s ownership interests in the Innkeepers JV and the Torrance JV are subject to change in the event that either Chatham or Cerberus calls for additional capital contributions to the Innkeepers JV or the Torrance JV, as applicable, necessary for the conduct of that JV's business, including contributions to fund costs and expenses related to capital expenditures. We manage the Innkeepers JV and the Torrance JV and will receive a promote interest in the applicable JV if it meets certain return thresholds. Cerberus may also approve certain actions by either JV without the Company’s consent, including certain property dispositions conducted at arm’s length, certain actions related to the restructuring of either JV and removal of the Company as managing member in the event the Company fails to fulfill its material obligations under either joint venture agreement.

In connection with certain non-recourse mortgage loans in either the Innkeepers JV or the Torrance JV, our Operating Partnership could be required to repay portions of the indebtedness, up to an amount commensurate with our interest in each respective JV, in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds, and material misrepresentations.

Inflation

Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.

Seasonality

Demand for our hotels is affected by recurring seasonal patterns. Generally, we expect that we will have lower revenue, operating income and cash flow in the first and fourth quarters and higher revenue, operating income and cash flow in the second and third quarters. These general trends are, however, influenced by overall economic cycles and the geographic locations of our hotels.

Critical Accounting Policies

33

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) clarified that when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of a default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance on sales of real estate. The provisions are effective for public companies for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2013 and the guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

34

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our assumption of long-term debt in connection with our acquisitions. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will seek to borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With respect to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. Rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity and fair value of the underlying collateral. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $177.9 million and $168.2 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2013, our consolidated debt was comprised of floating and fixed interest rate debt. The fair value of our fixed rate debt indicates the estimated principal amount of debt having the same debt service requirements that could have been borrowed at the date presented, at then current market interest rates. The following table provides information about the maturities of our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (in thousands):

	2013		2014		2015			2016			2017			Thereafter		Total			Fair Value
Floating rate:
Debt					$	30,500										$	30,500		$	30,501
Average interest rate (1)					2.70		%									2.70		%
Fixed rate:
Debt	$1,147		$2,547		$7,286			$	40,731		$	2,546		$121,585		$	175,842		$	177,988
Average interest rate	4.92	%	4.90	%	5.48		%	5.90		%	4.70		%	4.67	%	4.99		%

(1) LIBOR of 0.20 % plus a margin of 2.50% at June 30, 2013.

We estimate that a hypothetical one-percentage point increase in the variable interest rate would result in additional interest expense of approximately $0.3 million annually. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our floating rate debt remains at $30.5 million, the balance as of June 30, 2013.

Any such dividends or other distributions paid in a form other than Common Shares shall be paid to the Participant in the same form as the dividend or distribution was paid to shareholders, without interest, if, when and to the extent that the Common Shares covered by this Share Award become Vested. If any dividend or distribution is paid in the form of Common Shares and is paid on Common Shares covered by this Share Award before the shares become Vested, such shares (and any dividends or distributions on those shares) shall be subject to the same vesting and other restrictions as set forth in this Agreement as if they were part of the original Share Award. The Company shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing the Common Shares covered by this Share Award (and any Common Shares received as a dividend or distribution on this Share Award) until the date the Common Shares become Vested and the Participant hereby appoints the Company’s Secretary as the Participant’s attorney in fact, with full power of substitution, with the power to transfer to the Company and cancel any Common Shares covered by this Share Award that are forfeited under Paragraph 4.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company’s TRSs are subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company’s TRSs are structured under two TRS holding companies, which we refer to as TRS I and TRS 2, that are treated separately for income tax purposes.

The components of income tax expense for the following periods are as follows (in thousands):

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Federal	$	35	$	116	$	35	$	90
State	10		17		10		10
Tax expense	$	45	$	133	$	45	$	100

At June 30, 2013, TRS 1 had a gross deferred tax asset associated with future tax deductions of $0.5 million. TRS 1 has continued to record a full valuation allowance equal to 100% of the gross deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of its deferred assets due to the cumulative taxable losses incurred by TRS 1 since its inception. TRS 2 has a gross deferred tax asset of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2013 and no valuation allowance has been recorded in connection with the gross deferred tax assets of TRS 2 for June 30, 2013.

[1] Unvested restricted shares and unvested long-term incentive plan units that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, for the periods where a loss has been recorded, because they would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance due to seasonal and other factors including the timing of the acquisition of hotels.

The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the related notes thereto as of December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassification did not have any impact on the income (loss).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) clarified that when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of a default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance on sales of real estate. The provisions are effective for public companies for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2013 and the guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization

Organization

Chatham Lodging Trust (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) on October 26, 2009. The Company is internally-managed and was organized to invest primarily in premium-branded upscale extended-stay and select-service hotels.

On January 14, 2013, the Company completed a follow-on common share offering generating gross proceeds of $51.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $48.4 million. On January 31, 2013, the Company issued an additional 92,677 common shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the offering that closed on January 14, 2013, generating gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. Proceeds from the January 2013 offerings were used to repay debt under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, including debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Hampton Inn Portland Downtown-Waterfront hotel in Portland, ME (the “Portland Hotel”) and the Courtyard by Marriott Houston Medical Center hotel in Houston, TX (the “Houston CY Hotel”).

On June 18, 2013, the Company completed a follow-on common share offering generating gross proceeds of $73.6 million and net proceeds of approximately $70.2 million. On June 28, 2013, the Company issued an additional 475,823 common shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the offering that closed on June 18, 2013, generating gross proceeds of approximately $7.8 million and net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million. Proceeds from the June 2013 offerings were used to repay debt under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility, including debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Hyatt Place Pittsburgh North Shore hotel in Pittsburgh, PA (the “Pittsburgh Hotel”).

The net proceeds from our offerings are contributed to Chatham Lodging, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for partnership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Chatham Lodging Trust is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owns 100% of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Certain of the Company’s executive officers hold vested and unvested long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership, which are presented as non-controlling interests on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company owned 21 hotels with an aggregate of 2,911 rooms located in 11 states and the District of Columbia, held a 10.3% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the “Innkeepers JV”) with Cerberus Capital Management (“Cerberus”), which owns 52 hotels comprising an aggregate of 6,927 rooms, and held a 5.0% noncontrolling interest in a joint venture (the "Torrance JV") with Cerberus that owns the 248-room Residence Inn by Marriott in Torrance, CA.

To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate the hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease our wholly owned hotels to taxable REIT subsidiary lessees (“TRS Lessees”), which are wholly owned by one of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) holding companies. The Company indirectly owns its interest in 51 of the 52 Innkeepers JV hotels and its interest in the Torrance JV through the Operating Partnership, and owns its interest in the remaining 1 Innkeepers JV hotel through one of its TRS holding companies. All of the Innkeepers JV hotels and the Torrance JV hotel are leased to TRS Lessees, in which the Company indirectly owns noncontrolling interests through one of its TRS holding companies. Each hotel is leased to a TRS Lessee under a percentage lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a fixed base rent amount or (ii) a percentage rent based on hotel room revenue. The initial term of each of the TRS leases is 5 years. Lease revenue from each TRS Lessee is eliminated in consolidation.

The TRS Lessees have entered into management agreements with third party management companies that provide day-to-day management for the hotels. Island Hospitality Management Inc. (“IHM”), which is 90% owned by Jeffrey H. Fisher, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, manages 19 of the Company’s wholly owned hotels and Concord Hospitality Enterprises Company manages two of the Company’s wholly owned hotels. As of June 30, 2013, all of the Innkeepers JV hotels were managed by IHM. The Torrance JV hotel is managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott").

At June 30, 2013, the maximum borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $115.0 million.

The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates. Rates take into consideration general market conditions, quality and estimated value of collateral and maturity of debt with similar credit terms and are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 typically consists of mortgages because of the significance of the collateral value to the value of the loan. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $177.9 million and $168.2 million, respectively.

The Company estimates the fair value of its variable rate debt by taking into account general market conditions and the estimated credit terms it could obtain for debt with similar maturity and is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s only variable rate debt is under its senior secured revolving credit facility. The estimated fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $30.5 million and $79.5 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants. At June 30, 2013, the Company’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.03.

The Company’s ownership interests in the Innkeepers JV and the Torrance JV are subject to change in the event that either the Company or Cerberus calls for additional capital contributions to the respective JV necessary for the conduct of business, including contributions to fund costs and expenses related to capital expenditures. The Company manages each JV and will receive a promote interest in the applicable JV if it meets certain return thresholds. Cerberus may also approve certain actions by each JV without the Company’s consent, including certain property dispositions conducted at arm’s length, certain actions related to the restructuring of each JV and removal of the Company as managing member in the event the Company fails to fulfill its material obligations under the applicable joint venture agreement.

The Innkeepers JV incurred $12.4 million and $24.5 million in depreciation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $12.3 million and $24.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plan

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company maintains its Equity Incentive Plan to attract and retain independent trustees, executive officers and other key employees and service providers. The plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares, share awards, share appreciation rights, performance units and other equity-based awards. The plan was amended and restated as of May 17, 2013 to increase the maximum number of shares available under the plan to 3,000,000 shares. Share awards under this plan generally vest over three to five years, though compensation for the Company’s independent trustees includes shares granted that vest immediately. The Company pays dividends on unvested shares and units, except for performance based shares, for which dividends on unvested performance based shares are not paid until those shares are vested. Certain awards may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. In January 2013 and 2012, the Company issued 22,536 and 27,592 common shares, respectively, to its independent trustees as compensation for services performed in 2012 and 2011. The quantity of shares was calculated based on the average of the closing prices for the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days preceding the reporting date. The Company would have distributed 10,172 common shares had this liability classified award been satisfied as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, there were 2,400,018 common shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Restricted Share Awards

On February 23, 2012, the Company granted 114,567 restricted common shares to the Company’s executive officers pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, consisting of time-based awards of 61,376 shares that will vest over a three-year period and 53,191 shares granted as performance-based equity awards. The performance-based shares will be issued and vest over a three-year period only if and to the extent that long-term performance criteria established by the Board of Trustees are met and the recipient remains employed by the Company on the vesting date. The Company met its criteria for 2012, therefore, on January 15, 2013 the Company issued an aggregate of 17,731 shares to its executive officers as performance based equity compensation under the 2012 awards. Included in the grant of 61,376 time-based shares in 2012 are 8,184 shares granted to certain employees not subject to employment agreements. On January 29, 2013, the Company granted 40,829 shares as time-based awards and, effective as of May 17, 2013 upon shareholder approval of the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, 40,829 shares of performance-base equity awards. The 2013 time-based equity awards will vest over a three-year period. The 2013 awards of performance-based shares will be issued and vest over a three-year period only if and to the extent that long-term performance criteria established by the board of trustees are met and the recipient remains employed by the Company on the vesting date.

The Company measures compensation expense for time-based vesting restricted share awards based upon the fair market value of its common shares at the date of grant. For the performance-based shares granted in 2012, compensation expense is based on a valuation of $10.20 per performance share granted, which takes into account that some or all of the awards may not vest if long-term performance criteria are not met during the vesting period. For the performance-based shares granted in 2013, compensation expense is based on a valuation of $10.93 per performance share granted. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company pays dividends on non-vested time-based restricted shares. Dividends for performance-based shares are accrued and paid annually only if and to the extent that long-term performance criteria established by the Board are met and the recipient remains employed by the Company.

A summary of the Company’s restricted share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Litigation

The nature of the operations of the hotels exposes the hotels, the Company and the Operating Partnership to the risk of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business. The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company or its properties.

Hotel Ground Rent

The Altoona hotel is subject to a ground lease with an expiration date of April 30, 2029 with an extension option of up to 12 additional terms of five years each. Monthly payments are determined by the quarterly average room occupancy of the hotel. Rent is equal to approximately $7,000 per month when monthly occupancy is less than 85% and can increase up to approximately $20,000 per month if occupancy is 100%, with minimum rent increased on an annual basis by two and one-half percent (2.5%).

At the New Rochelle Residence Inn, there is an air rights lease and garage lease that each expire on December 1, 2104. The lease agreements with the City of New Rochelle cover the space above the parking garage that is occupied by the hotel as well as 128 parking spaces in a parking garage that is attached to the hotel. The annual base rent for the garage lease is the hotel’s proportionate share of the city’s adopted budget for the operations, management and maintenance of the garage and established reserves to fund for the cost of capital repairs.

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancellable operating ground leases under which the Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due. The following is a schedule of the minimum future obligation payments required under the ground, air rights and garages leases as of June 30, 2013, for the remainder of 2013 and for each of the next four calendar years and thereafter (in thousands):

	Amount
2013 (remaining six months)	$	103
2014	207
2015	210
2016	212
2017	214
Thereafter	11,445
Total	$	12,391

Management Agreements

The management agreements with Concord, the manager of the Altoona, Pennsylvania Courtyard by Marriott and the Washington, Pennsylvania SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotels, provide for base management fees equal to 4% of the managed hotel’s gross room revenue. The initial ten-year term of each management agreement expires on February 28, 2017 and will renew automatically for successive one-year terms unless terminated by the TRS lessee or the manager by written notice to the other party no later than 90 days prior to the then current term’s expiration date. The management agreements may be terminated for cause, including the failure of the managed hotel operating performance to meet specified levels. If the Company were to terminate the management agreements during the first nine years of the term other than for breach or default by the manager, the Company would be responsible for paying termination fees to the manager.

In 2012, the Company assumed hotel management agreements in place at six hotels the Company acquired in 2010 — the Boston-Billerica Homewood Suites, Minneapolis-Bloomington Homewood Suites, Nashville-Brentwood Homewood Suites, Dallas Homewood Suites, Hartford-Farmington Homewood Suites and Orlando-Maitland Homewood Suites — all of which were managed by Promus Hotels, Inc., a subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Worldwide (“Hilton”).

All of the remaining hotels are managed by IHM. The management agreements with IHM have an initial term of five years and may be renewed for twofive-year periods at IHM’s option by written notice to us no later than 90 days prior to the then current term’s expiration date. The IHM management agreements provide for early termination at the Company’s option upon sale of any IHM-managed hotel for no termination fee, with six months advance notice. The IHM management agreements may be terminated for cause, including the failure of the managed hotel to meet specified performance levels.

Management agreements with IHM also provide for accounting fees up to $1,500 per month per hotel, revenue management fees up to $1,000 per month per hotel and, if certain financial thresholds are met or exceeded, an incentive management fee equal to 10% of the hotel’s net operating income less fixed costs, base management fees and a specified return threshold. The incentive management fee is capped at 1% of gross hotel revenues for the applicable calculation.

Management fees totaled approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012.
